Title: Will my Klein RJ45 crimper work on Cat 7 and 8?
Post by: emmett518 on September 11, 2022, 02:16:22 PM

I just upgraded my customers to Gig E ethernet, and we have to replace the Cat 5 cabling. I'd just assume install Cat 6 or 6A.

Do the connectors install like Cat 5 RJ45s, and can I use the Klein RJ45 crimper that cuts the unneeded wires off flush with the connector with Cat 6 or 6a, or do I need to buy a new tool? Do I need special, shielded connectors?

Thanks

I used the same tools as before. Same connectors, as well.
